Cookie Dough S'mores-3 Ways

Happy day before Thanksgiving! I hope all of your preparations are going smoothly and no stress is going on. I know it's a bit of a pipe dream....but I still hope it's true :P With all the stress and drama that can come with big events like holidays, I think today we should just focus on pure, simple, easy, perfect, yumminess.

In the form of s'mores. Made with eggless cookie dough. In 3 (and potentially more) different ways. YES.

I'm gonna lay a little math on ya:

2 wrongs DO NOT=a right.

2 awesome things DO=EPICLY AMAZING THINGS

S'mores=GOOD.
Cookie Dough=GOOD.
Cookie Dough S'mores=GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
3 DIFFERENT KINDS of cookie dough s'mores=EPIC!

Yeah, I know, I'm like pretty much Einstein.

If you're Kayle, and you're staring down the idea of adding egg-less cookie dough to a s'more...you can't just leave well enough alone. That evil little part of your brain says "Mmm what if you used dark chocolate? AND OH! Add some sea salt on top!" and then "You do have some of that homemade nutella in the refrigerator too soo...that should probably happen." and then "Darnit. We're out of salted caramel sauce. That probs would've been amazing. Ughhhh. Why is life so unfaaaaair?! #firstworldproblems"

So uh yeah. I took some homemade graham crackers (because duh) and then I made my 3 kinds of s'mores-one with some milk chocolate, one with dark chocolate and sea salt, and one with nutella.

MMMMMMmmmmmmmm.....!

Can you guess which my favorite was?

The salted dark chocolate!!

Are you surprised?? I kind of was-when it comes to s'mores I tend to be a purist and love the classic milk chocolate and, while that was scrumdidlyumptious....holy cow, cookie dough + graham crackers +toasted marshmallow + dark chocolate + sea salt=OH MY GAWWWWD FANTABULOUSITY! Just...such a perfect combo! They were all friggin fantastic though. And now all I want to do is make tons and tons of different kinds of s'mores...

...this doesn't bode well for my desire to lose weight probably...does it?

*shrug* Whatever. Make cookie dough s'mores. Your life will never be the same.

Makes 12 s'mores

Note-You don't have to make all 12 s'mores at once. You don't even have to make 12 s'mores. Just store extra cookie dough in the refrigerator and either use as needed in future s'mores or...ya know...just eat it. 

Ingredients:

Cookie Dough

• 1/4 cup (or 4 tbsp.) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp. milk or cream
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp. salt

S'mores

• 24 graham cracker squares
• 12 marshmallows (or 12 bunches/clusters of mini marshmallows)
• Small pieces of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, your favorite candy, or about 1 tbsp. of nutella, peanut butter, salted caramel, etc.
• Optional-sea salt, for sprinkling

Preparation:

• Using an electric mixer (stand or hand) beat together butter and sugars until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Mix in vanilla and milk/cream. On low speed (or by hand) stir in the flour and salt until incorporated.
• Spread about 1 tbsp. of dough onto 12 graham crackers. Place milk chocolate on a third, dark chocolate on another third, and a dollop of nutella on the final third (or use any candy or peanut butter or caramel sauce on however many you like).
• Place marshmallows on the remaining 12 graham cracker squares. Place on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until golden brown and toasted (keep a close eye to avoid burning!)-you can also toast the marshmallows over a fire, a gas stovetop, or using a kitchen torch, or just puff them up in the microwave.
• Gently press the graham crackers with marshmallows on top of the cookie dough/chocolate halves. Let sit for at least 30 seconds to allow the chocolate to begin to melt. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the s'mores with dark chocolate (or any of them that you'd like).
• Eat immediately!

The beautiful 3 different chocolate options, just sitting and waiting for their other halves.

It's sorta romantic, in a s'moresy kinda way.

Everyone, have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING tomorrow!
I'm thankful for all of you <3
